I am available for
talks, workshops, seminars and program consultations. (For information
about family consultations click here.) I am delighted to speak
to
groups of parents and professionals . I speak to audiologists,
speech-pathologists, auditory verbal therapists, teachers of children
who are hard of hearing or deaf, and general classroom teachers. I also
speak
to specialists who work with children with auditory processing
disorders, and with special needs children, including children with
autism. Talks range from one hour to several days, depending on the
needs of the audience.
